Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[JT3]

There's too much stat watching swaying opinion in this thread I think. Kloten has scored at a 2.08 goal per game pace this season, which would place them firmly last in the NHL behind Chicago who are scoring at a 2.12 gpg pace. For a dman like Reinbacher who produces through his transition play, you aren't going to have much production if your team can't score.

Has his season been disappointing? Yeah, a bit, and that's from someone who wanted him pre-draft and has advocated for him since. But while it was disappointing, I'm not worried yet. There were too many factors this year that may have negatively affected him to get a proper read. His early season knee/wrist injuries, the fact that he was probably a little out of shape due to the way he put on weight, his team being dogshit, his schooling/work, and the pressure of going from an unknown to a top draft pick for probably the craziest fan base in the league. I'm more interested in seeing how he plays over here after having some time to adapt and work with our staff.

I think our management team is targeting big, smart, toolsy players like Slaf and Reinbacher with the idea of allowing the development team they've put together to mold these guys into beasts.

Game 6 of Olten/GCK Lions is at 3PM ET today.

If Olten wins, they win the series and Kloten will officially play Ajoie starting Saturday.

If Olten loses, then Game 7 is on Friday and Reinbacher will still be on standby.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

Hope people saved from crow after eating it from Slaf because you'll be eating it again on Reinbacher.

100% agree with this. I don’t know anybody who watched him at the WJC two years ago and didn’t think he was a stud. People just haven’t watched him- let alone against his peers

If Reinbacher play the last few games with the Rockets, does that burn his 1st year contract of his ELC?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I appreciate the love and positive thinking but Paul Coffey was god on skates. One of the best skaters I’ve seen. Ridiculous ability really… and never seen the inside of his own zone either

That’s cause the puck was always in the other end.

Already signed and loaned, so I think it already is burned?

The rules are avilable here Entry-Level Slide Candidates - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

So if Reinbacher plays in the AHL it's fine and his ELC slide, it's NHL games that matter.

If CapFriendly is to be believed, he is eligible to slide his ELC.

Yeah that slide was one of the reasons I felt Kloten was a better option.

I could be wrong, but I think it would still slide if he played in the AHL, but stayed there. If I'm not mistaken, because he's under 20 years old, he was still eligible to slide even if he was in Laval the entire season.

That I didn't know.
I think what swayed me the most however was Reinbacher himself stating that is what he preferred.
The mindset is so vitally important in my books.

The moment he said he wanted to finish his schooling, then him going back was the only option.

Go Lions!!!

Edit: 1-0 Olten

 

[Redux91]

- KalPa win their final regular season game 3-0, no points for Kapanen. So he finishes the season with 34 pts (14G, 20A) in 51 GP.

- HPK lost 3-1 in their final game. No points for Nurmi. He finishes the year with 16 pts (2G, 14A) in 60 GP.
